Beloved Community Teach-In

“The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.”

– Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr. described the “Beloved Community” as a society where “caring and compassion drive political policies that support the worldwide elimination of poverty and hunger and all forms of bigotry and violence. At its core, the ‘Beloved Community’ is an engine of reconciliation.”

On January 13, 2023, in celebration of the King Holiday, The King Center is calling on educational institutions and organizations around the globe to join us for a worldwide Teach-In. The purpose of the Beloved Community Teach-In is to educate people of all ages about Dr. and Mrs. King’s legacy and how to champion completion of their unfinished work.
The theme for the 2023 King Holiday Observance is “It Starts with Me: Cultivating a Beloved Community Mindset to Transform Unjust Systems.” In keeping with the theme, PK-12 lesson plans for the 2023 Teach-In will reinforce the knowledge, skills and dispositions students need to not only to be positive contributors to creation of the “Beloved Community” but also to succeed in their respective life paths. Full lesson plans with objectives, activities and an assessment will be available upon registration.

Join The King Center and educational institutions and organizations around the globe for the 2023 Beloved Community Teach-In.
